U-BORG: Power-Up Attachments for Microman by Factory M (Media Factory) (c.1999) Takara licensed Microman property for various merchandised, but the most interesting one to most Microman collectors was the U-Borg Series produced by a company call Media Factory. The U-Borg were school stationary supplies (pen, ruler etc) that double as power-up attachments for Microman. Can you imagine being a kid and able to take a Microman to school along with all his power-up units disguise as your school supplies in case Acroyers launch a surprise attack on your school. U-Borg is probably one of the best accessory licensed by Takara. The name U-Borg came from the old Microman toys the Uniquer which were magnetic toys that functioned as school supplies. According to the package and BomBom comic book, the U-Borgs are supposed to be power-up weapons and equipment develop for Microman by a secret U-Borg Laboratory code name Factory M (stand for Media Factory if you didn't get it). What make U-Borg really cool is that, they have many 5mm connectors and ports as a mean to attach the power-up unit to Microman. By using 5mm ports and connectors U-Borg can be used with the old Microman toys, not only the vintage Microman action-figures but also the vehicles and bases and they are fully customizable. There were 21 U-Borg power-up units originally plan by Media Factory plus a few variations. Each U-Borg came package in a very nicely design small cardboard box, and also includes a collectible data card about each U-Borg. Media Factory canceled the remaining unreleased U-Borg (M-006, M-007, M-009, M-011 and M-013 to M-021) in 2000. At the end of 1999, Media Factory produced a special limited edition U-Borg Starter Kit call Parallel Junction M-2000. This box set contains 18 of the various U-Borg units plus special gold version of M-004 UnitShell Laser along with 2 U-Borg schematic drawing and U-Borg Lab Secret File containing U-Borgs Combination units by U-Borg Lab.
